In the presentation of the volume, the MACMA manager, Jovi Seser, summarized the near 100 recipes that guide the work and the arrival of the Moors. With this recipe book, the Commonwealth intends to claim the reintegration in the kitchens of the houses of the region and, above all, in the kitchens of the restaurants.
The bakery at the Marina Alta It is a project conceived by Vicent Ortuño, founder of MACMA, which was published ten years ago on the occasion of the commemoration of the 400 years of the expulsion of the Moors and was exhausted during the first year of publication.
The current reissue of the work aims to bring this gastronomic legacy to the new generations and has also been distributed to the bookstores of the region and the neighboring regions to meet the demand for copies and thus expand the echo of the initiative.
